Smith shows how to build work relationships that are flexible and strong enough to survive the toughest challenges, and illustrates how relationships among leaders determine the success or failure of any organization.

Scholastic's next multi-platform mega-event begins here!Dak, Sera, and Riq might be in over their heads when they attempt to stop a Viking invasion!Hundreds of ships carrying thousands of warriors are laying siege to medieval Paris. The Parisians are holding their own, but the stalemate can only last so long. And that's bad news -- especially since Dak has been captured, forced to work alongside the Vikings while Sera and Riq defend Paris from within. No matter which side wins, the kids lose!

The real challenge of programming isn't learning a language's syntax—it's learning to creatively solve problems so you can build something great. In this one-of-a-kind text, author V. Anton Spraul breaks down the ways that programmers solve problems and teaches you what other introductory books often ignore: how to Think Like a Programmer. Each chapter tackles a single programming concept, like classes, pointers, and recursion, and open-ended exercises throughout challenge you to apply your knowledge. You'll also learn how to: –Split problems into discrete components to make them easier to solve –Make the most of code reuse with functions, classes, and libraries –Pick the perfect data structure for a particular job –Master more advanced programming tools like recursion and dynamic memory –Organize your thoughts and develop strategies to tackle particular types of problems Although the book's examples are written in C++, the creative problem-solving concepts they illustrate go beyond any particular language; in fact, they often reach outside the realm of computer science. As the most skillful programmers know, writing great code is a creative art—and the first step in creating your masterpiece is learning to Think Like a Programmer.

Calm, Forward and Straight must always serve as guiding principles during dressage training and the order of these concepts should not be changed. "In these volumes, I capture and explain the training foundations passed down to us from the great Masters. I provide appropriate exercises to restore, develop, and enhance the horse's natural gaits. This goal is shared in all riding styles and training disciplines, including dressage, jumpers, hunters, western, pleasure, and many others. Book One includes the fundamental training progression from the beginning to the elementary level. The training mastered in Book One is necessary to advance to the collected and extended gaits, pirouette at the canter, tempi flying changes of lead, piaffe and passage that are presented in Book Two." - Francois Lemaire de Ruffieu This work-study program explains how to Divide and Conquer the horse's body parts. To be able to properly perform the exercises the horse should be able to find the appropriate head position independent of the rider. The exercises are beautifully illustrated by hundreds of the author's drawings and diagrams. Using Ruffieu's experiential teaching method, horses and riders are transformed by a wealth of exercises, patterns and aids revealed in a logical, progressive sequence.

This book "Divide and Conquer Algorithms for Multi-dimensional Problems" not only present algorithms and analysis of advanced real-life problems but also prepares you to have a deep understanding of how these algorithms were originally designed and an ability to solve some of the most insightful algorithmic problems.This is a must read if you want to dive deeper into understanding Algorithms and its advanced applications.Multidimensional divide and conquer is an algorithmic technique that can be used to develop several algorithms and data structures for multi-dimensional problems. It is an extension of Divide and Conquer algorithms.The basic idea of Divide and Conquer is to divide the problem into smaller problems, solve the smaller problems and use the answers from the smaller problems to get the answer to the larger problem.Merge Sort is a popular algorithm that applies Divide and Conquer to sort 1-dimensional data.Extending such algorithms for Multi-dimensional data is not simple but it is an interesting approach that which nurture your thinking process and is more widely used as it reflects real-life problems.This is important as most real-life problems are multi-dimensional like: o A map of Earth is a 2-dimensional datao Text is a multi-dimensional data for Clustering problemso Augmented reality is usually 3-dimensional datao Game graphics are at-least 3-dimensional datao Physics consider our Universe to be 11-dimensional dataWe use this paradigm to give best-known solutions to problems such as: o Empirical Cumulative Distribution Functions problem (ECDF)o Maxima problemo Range searching problemo Closest pair problemo All nearest neighbor problemsFor all problems, we have demonstrated 1-dimension problem, 2-dimension problem, 3-dimension problem, k-dimension problem (all with time complexity analysis) and real-life applications.We, also, presented open question in this domain which you can think about and potentially, develop a solution.This book has been carefully prepared and reviewed by Algorithmic researchers at OpenGenus and Tokyo Institute of Technology. We would like to thank Aditya Chatterjee and Benjamin QoChuk for their expertise in this domain.Read this book now and change the way you think about algorithms. This is a must read for everyone who wants to truely understand Algorithms and apply it to solve advanced problem
